Knowledge, Learning, Community
This set of slides is a bit disjointed, so it's hard to grasp the author's overall point. But there are some good bits, especially the data presented in the first half about changing attitudes between generations in Britain. The author suggests that there is an increasing trend toward personalized learning, and that a major driver toward this is personal self-fulfillment. Some of the later slides suggest that the major barrier to this is organizational and institutional resistance. Now I may be extrapolation here, but I read the point as this: what is required for personalized learning is the evolution of a network, but institutions are still set up in silo mode, which works against the network. Whether or not the author said this, I think it's true. ( Note: because of a space in the link, this may not open for all browsers ).
